A beautifully told story, it must be said. It must be read, it must. Here in this space we read and today I felt like I was going to get through it without too much disaster. Trying to do the things they suggest, to follow the guidelines, which is so tricky as the guidelines are not quite what I want to do. But they work, I have seen them work. Beautifully.
In this game the currency in which the cost needs paying is ignoring rudeness, spite and callousness. It is such a common currency it should have a name. A word for it, perhaps one day someone will go to the theatre and see the story play out and then say to themselves, I will take the name of that play as a shorthand for this agreement for while I might have agreed to the currency I would never have thought the cost would be this high.
